About this tour

During this 1-hour round trip, pass the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, Musée d’Orsay, and Notre-Dame Cathedral. The boat turns after about half an hour, giving you a fresh perspective as it follows the opposite bank back toward the starting point. Live commentary and a prerecorded audio guide offer context along the way, while the onboard restroom adds convenience. The cruise departs and returns to Port de la Bourdonnais, pontoon 3, at the foot of the Eiffel Tower.

How this score is calculated
This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 3.07 from 42 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.
How the score works and rating distribution in Paris
- Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
- Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
- Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
- The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 5.2.
